Waentxaton, Dec, 14, 1860.—Before the Presidential election, a great shout of economy was raised in Congress, and the country was told of the multitade of retrenchments made by the Virtuous majority. Our present dazzling Minister at Paris, who now dances the Galena gavotte at Compidgne and astonicshes the natives on the oulevards, was at that tine Chairn of the ‘ommittee on Appropriations, He held up the estimates of Andy Johnson's Administration, and compared them with the sums voted, in order to t the extravagance of the one und the pmy of the other, thus elniming to have saved millions for the dear people, all of which were to be credited to the Iepublican party, Well, Gon, Grant was elected with this ery and some others, for which many tens of thousands are repentant, J/i# estimates of expenditures have now been sent to Congress for the next fiscal vear, and they exceed by nearly addy millione of dollars the money appropriated for the current year!

If not, then we will thank the Seeretary of tho Treasury to instruct his Assessors and Collectors in future to refrain from requiring of us quar. terly returns and payments as manufac. turers, From the foregoing it is pretty evident that the construction of the law av affeeting publishers by the presont Post Office anthe tive is oppressive, and widely different f that w obtained beforo Mr, Cr came into office. in promoting either efficiency or honesty in the collection of the revenue.
